Addiction to Nicotine

This is an article that has some pretty good facts on smoking. One of them being that smokers can be heavy smokers or light smokers which means the heavy smoker actually can extract twice as much nicotine as a light smoker from the same amount of cigarettes. It makes you think that maybe light smokers can quit with less hassle than a heavy smoker just because they do not take in as much nicotine even though the amount of cigarettes is the same. It also gives good advice on how to quit by finding a 10-20 minute activity that can keep you busy while you are having a withdrawal from a cigarette.

  2. That was very interesting to read. How soon someone waits to smoke after waking up in the morning as an indication to how addicted they are was new to me.

  3. This is a very interesting article. It surprises me that just how much you inhale can change the amount of nicotine you take in.
